1.3.8 Princip 9: Ohrabrite pozitivnu akciju i ograničite spekulativno i pretjerano ekstrovertno ponašanje

How can an economy distinguish between income earned through Wall Street speculation and income earned from creating goods or raising children? Because GDP growth only considers the volume of money exchanged (or the total system throughflow in ENA words), and because it counts harmful activities like theft, cancer, as well as oil spills as positive changes, it is unable to discern between a healthy economy and a bubble. The alarming outcome of today is that the real-economy networks’ deteriorating state is concealed by a fleeting fog of speculative activity. Regenerativna ekonomija se, s druge strane, veoma bavi konstruktivnim aktivnostima jer pomažu u razvoju ekonomskog kapitala i sposobnosti. Dakle, akcije koje povećavaju infrastrukturu, proizvodnju, snagu i učenje vrednuju regenerativna ekonomija. Oni imaju za cilj da ograniče dve stvari: 1) prekomerne spekulacije, koje stvaraju balone fiktivnog bogatstva podstaknute uglavnom ludilom; i 2) prekomjerna ekstrakcija, koja rezultira ekonomskom nekrozom.
